In my Django application I get times from a webservice, provided as a string, that I use in my templates: {{date.string}} This provides me with a date such as: 2009-06-11 17:02:09+0000 These are obviously a bit ugly, and I'd like to present them in a nice format to my users. Django has a great built in date formatter, which would do ...

I am working on an open source Django time tracking app, Djime, and I'm trying to come up with a more efficient way to produce statistics. So far, we've had some rather long-winded procedural code that would get all TimeSlices for a period, and collate them together in a huge nested list/dictionary mess. What I'd like to do is to set up...

Below is the code I'm using at the moment. return json_response({ 'success' : False, 'errors' : form.errors }) With this, I get the infamous proxy object e...
I plan to sneak in some Python/Django to my workdays and a possible social network site project seems like a good possibility. Django itself seems excellent, but I am skeptical about the quality of large amount of Django apps that seem to be available. I would like to hear what kind of experiences you may have had with Django in creati...

Django's admin site keeps a history of the changes made to objects through the admin site. The Question: How do I hook my application in to the admin site's change...
Hello, I would appreciate if someone can provide feedback or point me in the correct direction. I am unable to execute any terminal commands on a remote server when three django sites are running in daemon mode. I do not have a problem when I use embedded mode on one or two sites. When I enter the commands I only get "-bash:fork:cannot...
I need a model field composed of a numeric string for a Django app I'm working on and since one doesn't exist I need to roll my own. Now I understand how "get_db_prep_value" and such work, and how to extend the Model itself (the django documentation on custom model fields is an invaluable resource.), but for the life of me I can't seem ...

Since the products model is: class Products(models.Model): PrName = models.CharField(max_length=255) PrCompany = models....
Is there any way to share same transaction between two threads in a django-based code? The problem is that I have 1.1's TestCase (those that wrap individual tests into transactions) that are intended to test code that is running in a different thread [a sort of asynchronous testing]. So these test create some data that is intended to be...
I have made a complex models structure in django. I had planned to render this structure using GWT, but with python the option to communicate whit it are: - using JSON and in this case I have to duplicate the models structure in javascript objects (see gwt tutorial). - python-gwt-rpc is a remote procedure call library compatible with g...
I am writing a Django application that will track changes to the models, in a similar way to the admin interface. For example, I will be able to display a list of changes to a model, that look something like Changed Status from Open to Closed.
